Do you think a judicial appeal would be beneficial to you?
Your property's value may make it worthwhile to appeal your property tax to the judicial level. In addition to overseeing the judicial appeal process, O'Connor coordinates legal counsel, expert witness reports, and filing fees on behalf of the clients. The only cost you incur is if your property taxes are reduced below the level set by the appraisal review board. The Property Tax Protection Program™ gives you the opportunity to take advantage of O'Connor's ability to appeal your account at the highest level possible on an annual basis.
